These people are COMEDIANS
Replace "taunts government agencies online" with "exposes government agencies online" to begin to unspin it.

I’m all in with cash but since this clueless late to the party clown says “buy” I think I’ll empty out the heloc and bet the farm tomorrow.
I wonder often if I must be living in an alternate universe from these Tesla haters. I’m not implying that massive success is a guarantee, but I’ve never seen anything more obvious in my life time. I knew the moment I sat in the model S for my first test drive almost 6 years ago.

i've counted like 4 or 5 different articles in mainstream newspapers with headlines along the lines of "WHY DID NOBODY SEE TESLA'S THIRD QUARTER PROFITABILITY COMING?" and it's driving me crazy because it seems like *anyone* could have easily seen it coming from over a quarter away. aside from Elon saying it, all you had to do was some very simple math, or look at the numbers from the previous quarter and extrapolate. it was super obvious, and what's more, Tesla and Elon both repeatedly told everyone it was coming.
it just goes to show how thoroughly the shorts continue to manipulate the media and dictate the narrative.
very frustrating that journalists can't be a little more savvy about considering the bias of their sources.

I guess he did mean by next year, I thought he meant that it would be available sometime next year: Elon Musk on Twitter
Things must be moving faster than we thought... (Or at least than I thought.)

Parking here in Vancouver Canada is very expensive and hard to fine. I would prefer my Tesla drive around the parking lot pretending to find a spot while I shop. Would save me money on parking... LOL

Back then, when many innovators were allowed to innovate, and many smart people could spread good ideas that worked well in a high variety of fields (still true today but we seem to have forgotten that), and when almost everyone in our country spoke the same language so we could communicate effectively, thoroughly, and quickly, and before MBAs became some of the stupidest people on the planet, that cross-pollination would have been beneficial. Add to that that that capability was quickly erased in subsequent generations (war, communism, etc.), and his abilities probably became comparatively superior and thus lived on for generations. Now that those fields have been corrupted, the same behavior today would be to spread evil (and destruction and inability), not spread good ideas. Similar function, different sources, so different outcomes. Plus, at a certain point, the mind gets full, so I have no idea what effect that had on him, but for him to recognize the future for so long ... even to the end.
2005? In 2005, I thought everyone in the Middle East was from some odd evil religion, including KSA. Now, I know better, MUCH much better.
May your father’s memory always be a blessing.
Whenever I take someone under 30 for a ride in my Tesla for the first time, the reaction is always “this is the future”. This is their future, and they don’t say it with astonishment, but with excited expectation.
And as for 2005, well it was around then that I started to read a blog put out by a company called Tesla that didn’t have a product yet, but had a plan to transform the auto industry with electric cars. And I distinctly remember when I first read the blog thinking: “this is the future.”
Enjoy the commentary from today... jimmy d’S podcast was epic. Learned a lot. Saving money for hw 3 upgrade. But v 9 is very nice. Public starting to get idea of what Tesla is all about. I watched rogan podcast again tonight. Great marketing. All this SEC stuff will pass and I expect grid services and energy storage to be unveiled. Maybe V3 supercharger is mega packs with solar/starlink/charging/coffee.... not constrained to any existing infrastructure... maybe model y doesn’t have falcon doors, but a 6 seater that has a huge hatchback that allows ramp up into whole back of vehicle... glad David pouge got a model 3. He is a good respected source, wrote another good article today. Less FUD it seems, but don’t expect much change....

Perhaps we should just be grateful for the opportunity to confidently buy undervalued stock. Yes, it would have been a different story if the FUD and shorting had somehow prevented Tesla from reaching escape velocity, but it didn't, and this is how legends are born - success against the odds, fighting evil at every turn. (And I don't use that word flippantly, it IS evil to reduce our chances against the CO2 problem)
I think he meant "analist", but got auto-corrected.
EDIT: and that's Trent on ignore now...

Funny enough this is kinda what the future of cars are aspiring to become. Allegedly, 90% of car ownership is an idle parked car taking up space.
If cars are in coninunous motion, waiting or searching for a customer to drive somewhere, a vast majority of parking infrastrure can be utilized for other activities (green space, other businesses, etc...)
Also, it might change the concept of ownership, leading to a pay for mobility on demand, which also leads to a reduction of actual automobiles on the road. We may see a notable decline in autos manufacturered, which can actually accelerate transition to all electric global fleet dramatically.
It’s mind boggling the implications and it’s starts with a “summon” update over the air...

Could only imagine what would go on inside one of those cars without a human present. Would be some sticky seats. No thanks
Smile, you're on camera.
Exactly i would never allow some stranger use a car of mine. I could see the benefit to reduce the nr. of cars per household. I just can't imagine how a driverless car would manage the congested narrow situations over here in a European city. Every other crossing you have to communicate with handsigns / horns / highbeams etc. to try to achieve sort of smooth traffic (letting pass someone even if he has not the right of way etc.). I just fear the cars would be stranded, thus being the cause of even more congestion. That would really be bad PR. Frankly i am highly sceptical of the benefits.

Lots of technologies don't work 'somewhere', but work great 'elsewhere'. Bicycles are great for Canberra, but not Northern Sydney (too hilly). Evaporative a/c works in the dry west, but not the humid coast. We can't write it off because some places aren't suitable for version 1.
It's likely the absolute $ amount rather than on a per share basis, particularly because shares outstanding increase over time.
Make the interiors water-proof and steam-clean between passengers, like the sanisettes toilets in France
